Technical Breakdown
In Pokémon Ultra Moon, the first trial takes place on Akala Island and is led by Captain Ilima. Trainers must navigate through Lana’s trial on Lush Jungle, where they encounter various Pokémon types, including Grass, Bug, and Poison. Similar to other trials, the trainer must battle the trial captain, who uses a unique lineup of Pokémon. In Ultra Moon, Ilima uses a team consisting of a Normal-type Pokémon and a Rock-type Pokémon.
Performance Insights
The level of the first trial in Pokémon Ultra Moon is designed to introduce new trainers to the game’s mechanics and gradually increase the difficulty level. Ilima’s Pokémon are set at a relatively low level, allowing trainers to familiarize themselves with type advantages and the importance of strategy in battles. This approach facilitates a smooth transition into the more challenging trials encountered later in the game.
